Guest EXPAT Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 http://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?yr=2011&p=.htm This link is to the top movies of 2011 in box office receipts. It's not surprising that the last Harry Potter made the #1 position for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EXPAT Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 http://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=2011&p=.htm This link shows the top worldwide grosses for movies in 2011. And once again, Harry Potter rules the worldwide box office as well. I'm still in shock that the Pirates movie which was just awful generated more than a billion in global revenue.

BiBottomBoy Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm shocked at Hangover 2 being that high. It was awful and got awful reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RA1 Posted January 3, 2012 Members Share Posted January 3, 2012 The closest I came to seeing any of those was a touring production of The Lion King 3-4 years ago. However, I would, under the right circumstance, go to a few, maybe 5 but I currently have no firm plans to do so. Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lookin Posted January 3, 2012 Members Share Posted January 3, 2012 Surprising numbers.. I have only seen three out of the top 20 US grossing movies.. guess I need to get to the movies more... Three here also: #1, #54, and #87. Somehow, this year's movies weren't quite pulling me in as they did last year and the year before. Wouldn't have seen J. Edgar, had it not been for the discussion on this site. I'm very glad I did, as it provided some good context for Hoover's life, and gave me another opportunity to appreciate Armie Hammer's talents.

Depends on how many of those you viewed from the famed back row seats of Bangkok theaters... And with whom, OZ, and with whom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiBottomBoy Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I just wish I hadn't seen Hangover 2. That's 90 minutes of my life that I will never get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EXPAT Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I just wish I hadn't seen Hangover 2. That's 90 minutes of my life that I will never get back. That's one I avoided because I regretted seeing the first one. I regretted seeing Bridesmaids too. That was just awful IMO. Midnight in Paris was one of my favorites of 2011.

TotallyOz Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Sad? Depends on how many of those you viewed from the famed back row seats of Bangkok theaters... And with whom, OZ, and with whom. hehe. The BF and I saw one to two movies every week when I am with him in Thailand. We both love movies. But, as he is Thai, I go see many Thai movies with him. To date, I have yet to understand one comedy from Thailand. but, the action movies are usually pretty good. As are the BJ's when he gives them if the movie gets boring. I just wish I hadn't seen Hangover 2. That's 90 minutes of my life that I will never get back. LOL I liked Hangover 2. I know it was the same as the first one. I know it was stupid. But, it was fun mindless entertainment. Plus, I love the scenes from Thailand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
